Good looking, functional, has an issue with tables
First off, this is probably a 5-star app for most people. Fast, good looking, super-flexible with comprehensive options and the ability to create custom actions.
Why the low rating? One. Stupid. Thing.
Tables. I use tables a LOT (just the nature of my work), and Drafts 4 does not give me the tables I need when I export it’s markdown. It’s not that the tables don’t export. They just export without any lines, so when I send from Drafts to email, or to a Wiki, or to Coda, or to Evernote…I get line-less tables.
For me, this is a deal breaker. Every other markdown editor I’ve used has managed to put out tables that looked like tables in Mail and other HTML compatible apps. So sadly, I have to go back to my much uglier $1.99 markdown app that is so much less flexible..but gives me valid HTML tables.
For most people, this shouldn’t stop you from buying the app. It’s still very nice. My rating reflects it’s usability for ME, and I thought it was important that people know about the table problem before dropping $10.
